Federal regulators are considering a significant change to the design of steering wheels in American vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is currently weighing a proposal that would require all new cars and trucks to be equipped with a specific type of steering wheel that can help prevent driver distraction and accidents. The proposed rule is in response to growing concerns about the dangers of driver distraction, particularly with the increasing use of infotainment systems and other in-car technologies that can divert drivers' attention away from the road. If implemented, the rule could have far-reaching implications for the automotive industry and the safety of American drivers.
